I opened the PC in the morning, and this is what I got:




As is visible the icons of the UWA apps were no affected and the start menu also is unaffected.
When Control Panel is in category view the entire page is empty and in large/small icons the name is visible, no icons.
I deleted the iconcache.db in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local folder. Following the instructions here: How to fix missing icons in the taskbar and start menu?. But to no avail and now windows is not rebuilding the cache.
I also ran sfc /scannow but no changes took place.
What should I do?

0x8000ffff error and this:
Then I closed the popup and pressed the OK button on the System Properties Windows and I got 0x8007057A error:
Opening the Image Backup Control Panel page I again got an 0x8007000E error:
I tried using system restore via advanced startup but once again I got 0x800FFFF error.
P.S.: I did try restarting, didn't work.
